Ian Evatt has revealed that Bolton Wanderers defender Reiss Greenidge is close to finalising a loan move away from the League One club.
The 25-year-old central defender moved to Wanderers last summer, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal at the University of Bolton Stadium.
The former Arsenal youth product played seven times for Bolton last season in all competitions.

But Greenidge has not played for Bolton since the start of the year in the League Two defeat against Crawley Town, in which he was sent off for a second yellow card.
He was last involved in a Bolton matchday squad in the win over Leyton Orient at the end of January.
Reports have emerged suggesting that Greenidge is poised to move on from the League One side.
A season-long loan to National League side Barnet has been among the reports.
Speaking after last night's 1-0 pre-season friendly victory over Preston North End, Wanderers manager Evatt confirmed that Greenidge is close to moving away from the University of Bolton Stadium.
Evatt did not name the club in question Greenidge is poised to moved to, but confirmed it is due to be to a team in the National League and on a season-long loan and that is could get over the line within the next few days.
Evatt said: “I think we’re close to agreeing a deal with a National League team so hopefully that gets finalised in the next couple of days and we’ll wish Reiss all the best."
